Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour blend for gluten-free version)
  • 3 large eggs, at room temperature
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened (or margarine for vegan)
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Gather all ingredients on the counter. Make sure butter and eggs are at room temperature to ensure even mixing and better texture.
  2. Cream the Butter and Condensed Milk: In a large bowl, beat the softened butter and sweetened condensed milk together until smooth and creamy to create a rich base.
  3. Add the Eggs and Vanilla: Beat in the eggs one at a time to keep the mixture light and airy, then stir in vanilla extract for warmth and aroma.
  4. Sift Dry Ingredients: In a separate bowl, sift together the flour and baking powder to remove lumps and distribute evenly.
  5. Combine Wet and Dry Ingredients: Gradually fold the dry mixture into the wet ingredients, alternating with milk, until a smooth, lump-free batter forms.
  6. Bake to Perfection: Pour the batter into a greased and floured 8-inch cake pan. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes or until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
  7. Cool and Enjoy: Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely before serving.

Notes

  • Use eggs and butter at room temperature for best texture and mixing.
  • Do not overmix the batter to avoid a dense cake.
  • Make sure your baking powder is fresh for optimal rising.
  • Begin checking the cake for doneness at 30 minutes to prevent overbaking.
  • Let the cake cool completely before slicing to keep it moist and neat.
